Question

Help me please. This problem is confusing.

Answer 1

3 1/6 +2 1/8 - 1.25
I'm going to make all these numbers into improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator, for the 2 fractions, and for the '1.25' I will multiply it by 100 for the numerator and then make the denominator 100 and then simplifying, in numbers that is:
19/6+17/8-125/100
19 and 6 don't have common factors, neither do 17 and 8; but 125 and 100 do, both parts of the last fraction can be divided by 25 to make 5/4 so now the equation is:
19/6+17/8-5/4
Now we need a common denominator and I'll you 24.
76/24+51/24-30/24
Now we do the calculations, we'll leave out the denominator at the moment for ease.
76+51-30
127-30
93
That is 93/24 which can be simplified by dividing both by 3 to become:
31/8 as a mixed number that is 3 7/8 and as a decimal is 3.875

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

first you need to made the denominators the same 3 1/6 + 2 1/8 -1.25 would equal 3 and 4/24 + 2 and 3/24 then you make the decimal into a fraction which would equal 1 1/4then you make 1 1/4 into 1 6/24 then just add them
8 and 8/24 should be your final answr
